چکیده
Heat capacities of mass selected deprotonated water clusters (H(2)O)(n-1)OH(-) have been measured in the size range n = 48-118, as a function of temperature. We have found that they undergo a melting-like transition in the range 110-130 K. The transition temperature is size dependent with a strong correlation with the dissociation energy around the shell closure at n = 55.

Heat capacities of freely evaporating charged water clusters.
We report on evaporation studies on positively charged water clusters (H(+)(H(2)O)(N)) and negatively charged mixed clusters (X(-)(H(2)O)(N)) with a small core ion X (X=O(2), CO(3), or NO(3)), in the size range N=5-300. The clusters were produced by corona discharge in ambient air, accelerated to 50 keV and mass selected by an electromagnet. The loss of monomers during the subsequent 3.4 m free...
متن کاملActivation energies for evaporation from protonated and deprotonated water clusters from mass spectra.
Experimental mass abundance spectra are used to extract evaporative activation energies (dissociation energies) for protonated water clusters, (H(2)O)(N)H(+), and deprotonated water clusters, (H(2)O)(N)OH(-), in the size range up to hundred molecules. The inversion is achieved by application of the shell correction method adapted from nuclear physics to the abundance spectra. The well known abu...
متن کاملIon calorimetry: Using mass spectrometry to measure melting points.
Calorimetry measurements have been used to probe the melting of aluminum cluster cations with 63 to 83 atoms. Heat capacities were determined as a function of temperature (from 150 to 1050 K) for size-selected cluster ions using an approach based on multicollision-induced dissociation. The experimental method is described in detail and the assumptions are critically evaluated. Most of the alumi...
متن کاملAttachment cross-sections of protonated and deprotonated water clusters.
Attachment cross-sections of water molecules onto size selected protonated (H(2)O)(n)H(+) and deprotonated (H(2)O)(n - 1)OH(-) water clusters have been measured in the size range n = 30-140 for 10 eV kinetic energy of the clusters in the laboratory frame. Within our experimental accuracy, the attachment cross-sections are found to have the same magnitude and size dependence for both species. It...
متن کاملMelting, premelting, and structural transitions in size-selected aluminum clusters with around 55 atoms.
Heat capacities have been determined for unsupported aluminum clusters, Al49(+) - Al63(+), from 150 to 1050 K. Peaks in the heat capacities due to melting occur between 450 and 650 K (well below the bulk melting point of 933 K). The peaks for Al+51 and Al+52 are bimodal, suggesting the presence of a premelting transition where the surface of the clusters melts around 100 K before the core. For ...
